VA Winegars

Went to the game.  It was 55 degrees and I was wearing a hat and two fleece blankets.  I still froze.  I am SO soft from living in warmer climates now for 8 years.

 Savannah had to miss a day of school while we were gone.  It happened to be the day of her school's annual Teddy Bear Picnic.  She was devastated about it, so we had our own Teddy Bear picnic with Grammy's Oswald and Beary at the newly rebuilt Evergreen Park.  It was perfect.

Sad day--Mom retired from the Tabernacle Choir after 15 years.  We will miss the bonus of seeing her at Conference as we watch from far away.  We had a little party for her.

 Charlotte is just starting to giggle a tiny bit, but ONLY for Trevor.  I hate to be jealous, but I am her only food source, nighttime companion, etc. etc.  Maybe one of these days the giggle will be for me.  (Hard to see her grin in this picture because of the shadow, but it is there.)

Charlotte has also started sleeping through the night--HALLELUJAH.   I like my babies, but again, I start loving my babies when they sleep through the night.  (And I am not going to feel badly about that.)  She goes to bed with the big girls, and wakes up with the big girls.  Nice.  Cross our fingers that it will last...

How is the time passing so quickly?  C is nearly 2 months.  I am bleary-eyed, but having fun.  Here are some pics to prove it:

School started, Savannah is officially in Kindergarten. We are lucky enough to live only a half mile from school, so we walk--the WHOLE crew.


Virginia is totally obsessed with Sleeping Beauty.  Totally.  I wish you could ask her yourself about it. Her favorite character is Malifecent.  Is that bad?  I say great, as Malifecent is definitely the most complex character.  Let's hope it isn't a strange attraction to the naughty girl.

We tried swimming.  Fail.

Trevor is still flinging children around.  I have to keep a close eye on him when he is holding the baby.

I have lost some control around here.  Things like this and the next two go unnoticed for a while:



 Virginia is so lonely for Savannah while she is at school.  I love to watch their reunion every day.

 Resumed boating.  Success.

Blessed Charlotte --Can you guess which day we did it?

Have been loving on baby.

 C is starting to grin.  I LOVE the grinning.  It makes me feel like I am slightly more significant in the world when she at least acknowledges my presence in her little life.

For the record, we are alive and well!!
